the Nemark should not be considered as a turntable for anything other than getting your vinyl on your computer through the USB port. Putting that cart on a Newmark throug a jolida is like putting lipstick on a pig. Its still a pig
Budget Turntable For Low Output Moving Coil ???
Hi-
I would like to get Denon 103-R with the new model of the aluminum Midas shell. I own a good tube phono pre- amplifier for this cartridge (Jolida JD9) but I need a new turntable.
What would be the least expensive option that I could get good sound out of the Denon?
A gentlemen whose opinion I greatly respect has told me that a used version of the Rega P3 is the bottom end of turntable continuum (price wise). I do not want to make a horrible mistake, but what about one of the DJ type clones of the Technics 1200MK2?
What I am thinking of is the Numark TTX USB. It is a direct drive, but the specs on this are incredible! Low wow and flutter... and the other specs are great- Rumble: -58dB (IEC 98A Unweighted); -79dB (IEC 98A Weighted). It even has a straight tonearm. The Denon is reputed to love heavy tonearms.
Do you think it might work?
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Karl
